Taken from kodiki's debut album 'Your Excellence' (G&P029), out April 27, 2025

24 years old, the self-proclaimed 'clothed and courageous' kodiki definitely is one of the most promising artists to emerge from (not only) the Slovakian electronic scene in recent years. First and foremost, the jovial and ever-kinetic enigma is a producer, model, and performer known for his engaging stage presence that feels more like a performative adrenaline rush than a standard guy+laptop situation. After self-releasing a couple of singles, including '300dB' and the 'Muliebre' EP, he later doubled up with a well-received '600dB' EP, all while being busy playing prominent triple-A festivals as well as off-the-grid ratholes.
While live, kodiki's signature animated self-puppetry embodies the sound itself to the extent that it becomes an inseparable part of his real-time sonic narration. Highly recommended to catch him live with his highly anticipated debut album, which Gin&Platonic is now honored to present.

Right from the start, the airy longplay welcomes us with flappy open arms and pours over us with precise sound design and high-octane rhythms, leaving you with a grin from ear to ear. In Your Excellence, every beat dares to be both pristine and primal. Each one fabricates a pulse-pounding joyride through sun-faded ambience, perpetually veering from trancey euphoria into glitchy chaos and all the way back. It is sleek but always one slip away from getting messy – an intentional collision of composition that makes for an exhilarating listen as kodiki flexes some plot-twisting hard skills and masterfully builds and teases with the momentum of a surprise seismic catharsis.
Closely tightened with body movement, the album flows with an admitted spontaneity, as kodiki’s production is distinguished by a certain human touch that electronic music, with its often mechanical approach, frequently lacks. Your excellence, the tea is SERVED.

First single from nesso's highly anticipated EP 'Algorave Express' (G&P028), out February 2, 2025

Hop on for the unsettling ride conducted by Italian audio hacker and live coder Francesco Corvi, alias Nesso, who's also got rep as an experienced lecturer and frequent performer. Francesco navigates his sound expedition through stuttery, wreathed beats that mutate in ways that make every performance a one-off and every studio record of his a byte-sized smashing equilibrium. Whether he's dropped such on HEEL.ZONE, Superpang, or Kaer’Uiks, he's left a distinct sonic trail leading directly to this one right here. Fasten your seatbelts, 'cause early this February, Gin&Platonic will happily dispatch the 'Algorave Express,' Francesco's latest EP.

The five packed-up tracks follow an insuppressible grind on rusty staccato rails, with sheen-silver monster beat structures – a symphony of algorithmic twists that transform electronic sonixscapes into a well-calculated delusion. But this is science with some steeze: for all its layered complexity, Algorave Express is steeped in rhythm, inviting passengers on a journey through amplitude fluctuations of perpetual, lurid grooves.

As a celebration for our 50th release on katharsis, we return to our traditional ritual of recycling, repurposing, and reimagining our catalogue with the sample pack "Grand Ritual Flux". Just as we did on our previous sample packs “Emotional Core Sequencing” and “Affective Nucleus Extraction,” we have meticulously scanned and sifted through our recent discography, extracting spectral fragments, textural residues, and harmonic echoes - assembling and categorizing them into an expansive, ready-to-use .wav sample pack for your DAW of choice.

Grand Ritual Flux embodies both continuity and transformation, a sonic commemoration of our evolving past and uncertain future. The method remains intuitive: deep listening, careful slicing, and free association, allowing the pack to take shape as a natural extension of the katharsis ethos. At its core, this project is about removing barriers to creation and demotivating the gatekeeping culture. As a defiant gesture against the constraints of copyright, we invite all to reshape, manipulate, and breathe new life into the sound of katharsis. We encourage you to use these samples freely in your own productions - as always, we are eager to hear what emerges from the ever-expanding flux of creativity.

To demonstrate the potential within Grand Ritual Flux, label founder jjjacob has crafted a track exclusively using sounds from the pack.

I'm diving headfirst into the JRPG vibes here. I originally set out to make a more subdued track but somehow a hint of epic flavor snuck in.

Thanks for listening!

"Memory Music" is the debut EP from Danish composer and sound artist David Engelbrecht, aka Dudde, coming out in full on April 24th on katharsis. Crafted over several years through the careful gathering and processing of sonic fragments, the release captures the emotional weight and wonder of sound as memory. Each track is a small time machine, inviting listeners to drift between past and present - those moments when a single sound unlocks a flood of forgotten feelings, places, and people.

Moving seamlessly between ambient textures and sharp, high-paced drum patterns, Memory Music balances clarity and chaos with a sense of play. Breakbeats collide with nostalgic synth lines, melodic motifs shimmer alongside digital shadows, and echoes of vintage videogames flicker in and out like ghosts. It’s music that remembers and reimagines all at once - where fragments of the past become blueprints for the future.
